WHERE ARE TNEsE BILLS .

Before the session of the Legisla-
ture q good deal was said about the
irrigation and artesian well bills.
1t was supposed to be the crying
need Of the hour that these bills
should be passed. The session
nears close and still these bills
hang fire while all sorts of special
legislation goes through at light
ming speed. Nevada needs tree
planting, irrigation, water storage
and artesian wells. but SO far very
little legislation has been attempt
ed In that direction; The next
few days will be short time to at
tend to these matters and unless
they are attended to the people of
this State will not be satisfied with
the work done in Carson City dur
ing the Thirteenth Session.

into q nice brown beard. He had

streets of many a northern city, and
he had a long, long story to tell. But

She tool his hand, and its lines she scanned,
Then wide she opened her eyes:
You're in love, l see, with a girl, said she,
! About my age and size.
"You've loved her long, and your love is
strong,
The lines OF your hand disclose;
And you'd ask her to be your wife, but Iseo
That you're afraid to propose.
"But you need not fear, for tbs written
here
The maiden fair went on,
AS the palm she scanned, 'to ask her hand,
For her heart is already won.
Then the youth proposed, and with cheek
rose hued,
She answered, YES" with a smile;
And a season Of OSCILLATION ensued
IN regular Down East style.

In one Act.

After telling Of a young couple
brought up to luxury, who thought
they would rough-it on the plains, d
correspondent of the Boston Com.
mercial Bulletin thus continues the
story
To the reader who has been accus.
toned to dwelling in populous sec.
tions, no adequate idea of the utter
loneliness of a residence in the far
West can be formed. The disconso.
late wife unable to obtain assistance
in her hour OF need, now remained
faithfully watching by the bedside Of
the dying man who appeared to en-.
terrain q pecnliardread OF FLEEING buried
alive.
"Promlse me-" he said to his wife
some hours before his death, "that
you will not see me buried for at least
four days after l have breathed NV
last" to which request the poor WON,
an tearfully assented. All Through
the day and duringthe earlier portion
of the night the woman sat alone with
her dead, while without, and as though
already scenting their prey, a pack 81
hungry coyotes circled about the iso,
lated abode, ever and anon giving vent
to their peculiar and blood-curdlino
cries. At nine o'clock, a small party
Of miners, including our guides, Wood
and Armstrong, called on the way Ia
Cheyenne.
The sad story was soon told, and
early on the following morning III oI
the party was sent to Horse Creek fol
the purpose of obtaining the material
for a coffin. During all this time the
widow sat by the bedside of her dead
husband, at times scrutinizine Che
features of the latter and momentarL
ly starting up as if she fancied she de.
tected signs OF returning animation.
Kit Armstrong, from whom I received
whatever information is here afforded
concerning this sad episode, together
with his companion Wood, remained
during the four days following the
death OF the man as described. On
the last night of their vigil the won.
an, worn out from constant watching,
consented to take some rest, while TO-
ward morning both of the watchers
also fell asleep.
cit is not known at what hour the
supposed corpse became again ami
mated with life, but it wasfound upon
investigation that the body had at
some time during the night partially
turned in the coffin in which it had
been placed, although the features
still bore the same placid expression
they had worn the day previous. The
discovery of this dreadful circum
stance proved to be too much for the
afflicted wife, who entirely lost her
eason and who thenceforth roamed
about in the vicinity of her late home,
being generously afforded shelter by
those who had purchased the ranch,
and superstitiously avoided by In.
